All I really have to say about Lauren is that I am glad that in the movies, they combined her character with Jessica's! Ugh, I can't stand Lauren in the books, and I can't imagine having her in the movies too

Granted, this is just my personal opinion on Lauren...is there anyone who likes her, or sees some redeeming quality in her?

Oh no, I never liked Lauren. She seemed like a snob to me, not the kind of girl who you would want to befriend. Or, at least the kind of girl I wouldn't want to befriend. What's your opinion on Lauren?

Lauren Mallory reminds me of Pansy Parkinson, Draco's little minion, from Harry Potter: minor character and relentlessly evil student who isn't that significant in the movie adaptations, and for good reason.

Lauren reminds me of most of the girls in my class - 99.9 percent PURE EVIL!
It helps when i'm having a crummy day in school to come home and read the parts of the new moon when Lauren and Jess are mean to Bella and to see how well Bella copes - she just doesn't care! That's why I love Bella - she's strong

Everybody's going to hate me for this but... I don't get why everybody hates Lauren? I mean, I guess she is mean to Bella but teenagers are mean in general. I'm sure she'd grow out of it and become a nice person.
Just my opinion.

Well, I personally don't like her because she's the type of person who can destroy somebody's life. I consider her attitude as a kind of psychological bullying. But luckily, Bella - although she's not self-confident - seems not to really care of what Lauren believes. And right now I am wondering... Is there a chance that she is so indifferent on that matter because of her "protective shield"????
